From the world of minute trivia…Did you know that the Macintosh fonts were orginally supposed to be named “Overbrook”, “Merion”, “Ardmore”, and “Rosemont”? How cool is that?!? Want to know more? I love all the things there are to know in the world. Knowing about something just because it exists and is waiting to [...]

“Tonight, tonight…”

That phrase from West Side Story has been running through my mind all day today. In anticipation of Knit Night which is, ahem — “tonight”.
Many, many years ago in a life far, far away I ran the sound board for a production of West Side Story. My Wonderful Husband is in amazement that [...]
Mea culpa.

I’m guilty. Very guilty of doing the thing that people without children do with friends who have children.
I have a friend whom I love and adore. She’s a frightfully talented musician and Flash guru with a wonderful husband (also a frightfully talented musician and stupendous cook) of her own and 2 very smart, [...]
Ahhhhhhhhhh-again.

Knit night is such a wonderfully relaxing element in my life. Meeting up with people who have the same interests is a little bit of nirvana on Earth.
I have officially finished WH’s UTUS. I know this was announced earlier but WH tried on his UTUS and the one sock wouldn’t go over his instep. That’ll [...]

Last night was given over to the task of catching up…on sleep. I don’t know how I managed it but the last few hours of the day at work were beyond exhausting. I was falling asleep while typing my project status email. Luckily, I was able to remain concious enough to re-type it half a [...]
Dag-nab-it!

I’m quite frustrated that I have to frog the bind-off on one of WH’s UTUS. I’m irritated at myself that I did the bind-off when I was falling off the couch tired but continued to bind-off anyway. It’s my own freaken’ fault! You would think after all the reading and research I’ve done, [...]

Finally! Wonderful Husband’s UTUS (Universal Toe Up Socks) are done. Complete. Finito! Thank goodness. They were beginning to feel like the “infini-project”. The pics for this will be posted later. Boy isn’t around to model them and since they’re so large–on my feet, well. They’d just look demmed silly.
It [...]

Friday was tough on me. Go ahead, call me wimp. Call me a creampuff. I was simply too challenged by last week.
The weekend however, made it much better with the exception of the weather (a hair appointment to get rid of the frizzies, a birthday party for a friend, playing tennis–oops! that was canceled due [...]

Now I could complain about little irritations in life. And this would make me like many other people in the world. But alas, I choose to walk a different path then the rest of humanity for good or ill. Sometimes it works and other times, I just get kicked in the teeth [...]
